String Quintets K. 515 & 516

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Alban Berg Quartett & Markus Wolf

String Quintets K. 515 and K. 516 are two chamber works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1787. They are representative of classical-era chamber music, scored for a string quintet with two violas and characterised by broad melodic lines, rich inner voicings and sophisticated counterpoint that reflect Mozart's mature compositional style and his exploration of expanded chamber textures.
